With more and more people shopping online every year, there has never been a better time to have an ecommerce website. Starting next week, we’re giving you one more reason: .STORE domain names are coming next Tuesday, June 14, 2016!

A .STORE domain extension is perfect for websites belonging to online shopping portals, retail brands, local businesses, startups or storage solution providers…basically anyone selling something or providing a service with the word ‘store’ in it.

If you’re planning on launching an online store soon but haven’t found the perfect domain name yet, this top-level domain name is a no-brainer. If your site is already up and running, here are some reasons why you may want to consider making the switch:

Shorter Domain Name

If your domain name has store/shop/market or another similar word, moving ‘store’ to the right of the dot will make your domain name shorter (and therefore easier to type).

More Relevant

If your brand name doesn’t indicate what your service does, a .STORE domain will communicate that your website is a store before people even arrive at your website.

Stand Out

Since .STORE does not even exist yet, you know that potential customers have not seen it before. A domain name ending with .STORE is sure to pop in search results, posters, flyers or anywhere else your domain name is showcased.

Mark your calendars for June 14, 2016 at 12:00 PM EST! .STORE domains will be available for $14.99 (first year) until July 31, 2016.

Search for a .STORE domain as soon as they’re available to ensure you get the best one possible.
